Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Lightly grease muffin pans for about 18 muffins or cover with liners (I use nonstick paper liners).
In a large bowl, combine the flour, cornmeal, cinnamon, salt, and baking soda.
Stir in gently the wet ingredients: Almond milk or another plant-based milk, vanilla extract, applesauce, maple syrup, and olive oil.
Add the diced apples; mix the ingredients together (do not overmix.)
Spoon the cornbread mixture into the muffin pans. Bake for 30 minutes.
